Gerritsen, Tess - A Pot Luck Party

Keepsake: Madam X appears to be an Egyptian mummy. Linen wrapping of an age confirmed by carbon-14 dating. Leathery skin. Cranium evacuated. But when Boston's Crispin Museum transports Madam X to Pilgrim Hospital for the inevitable CT scan, Boston ME Dr. Maura Isles is on hand. The scan, and follow-up x-rays, show the mummy's fibula is fractured by—a bullet! Enter cop Jane Rizzoli to work a case tied to archaeology, more bizarre corpses including a shrunken head and a bog body, clever misdirection, an unusually uncanny serial killer, and malevolent obsession directed towards a terrified mother who battles to keep her young daughter safe. But… there's much more going on. Physician Gerritsen really delivers in this 7th Rizzoli/Isles thriller.

The best view is the video trailer at Gerritsen's website. Brrr.
